I tried with live cd and obtained the same output that empathy status dropdown is disabled and the notification-status-applet is also disabled. And it is same for any accounts like Yahoo or Gmail. Empathy is not triggering the notification-status-applet to enable the status change option. But pidgin does. So I tried a method. I've deleted all the accounts in pidgin and started Whenever the system starts up pidgin asks to create a new account. I closes it and chooses notification-status-applet "available"; all are fine. If pidgin is not running in background the notification-status-applet will disable itself.
